Hello birders,
This morning I was visited by a Cooper's Hawk that's been hanging around for a
couple of years. He's usually so unconcerned with me that I can walk up under
him like he was a pigeon down at Pal's. This morning I saw him perched up
along the road in an elm tree and decided to walk up with the video camera and
take a little footage. While I was taping him he got that nervous "I'm about
to do something" look and so I backed off the camera zoom a bit to get him as
he flew away. Instead, he shot straight up and blasted a morning dove that had
just landed a few feet over his head. I captured this few seconds of action as
best I could and have posted it at
http://media.putfile.com/coopers-kill-01. Hope that link works for you. Just
found out about it and it's a free video web-hosting site. All you raptor fans
enjoy.
Merry Christmas to all,
Rick
